Chapter 23

“What?”Josh said.

“We didn’t make a dent in the inventory at that parts house.Is there any reason why we can’t load this other van up with more parts?”

“What did I say the other day?”Josh said.“Oh,yes,good-looking and smart.That’s exactly what we’ll do.”

They returned to the parts store and picked up where they’d left off.A couple of hours later,the new van was full of parts,but they hadn’t stripped the warehouse of everything they could use.

“Time to hit the road,”Jake said.

“Yeah,but not until we look at the map.”

“Why do we need to do that?”

“I want to have someone come and get that other van.”

“Can’t we come back for it tomorrow?”

Josh thought about that for a moment.“Sure,why not?Want me to drive home?”

“I’m good.”

“Have at it,then.”

“Shall we go home by retracing our steps?”Jake said.

“I’d prefer not to do that,but off the top of my head,I can’t think of an easy way to get to that other highway from here.”
